transmission: a film documenting a queer-led promotion company’s return to the Liverpool gig scene.
Transmission (@transmission.presents) exists to uplift and support underrepresented alternative musicians and artists. Led by Ruby Reid, the org made its return at the end of 2024 - we were tasked with documenting their first event back and reintroducing their ethos to the masses.
Shooting this event was a proper pleasure - a real gorgeous night of queer joy and DIY music education. A real important one too, to quote Ruby herself - ‘I’ve never seen a gig that was just trans artists talking about their trans-ness and how to navigate the music scene like that before’.

“Working with Second Best has always been a delight. They’re keen to listen to your vision and provide a healthy balance of input and support in order to bring your project to life. The edit was quick and any changes required were listened to and swiftly amended. 10/10 would hire again xoxo”
